Summer is upon us. What better time to get ready for winter?
Though North America is headed into summer, now is a great time to begin researching winter weather maintenance equipment. To help with this, Hilltip, a leading manufacturer of road maintenance equipment in Europe, has recently introduced its latest de-icing sprayers, the SprayStriker HFE (Hi-Flow Electric) Series. These sprayers are designed to offer a high-performance, environmentally friendly solution for winter maintenance—particularly for municipalities and large contractors.
No Engine? No Problem.
The HFE series sprayers feature specialized dual high-flow pumps and flow meters to pump exact application rates on demand with instant responsiveness. Unlike engine-driven sprayers, the HFE series is zero emission, which means that it produces no harmful pollutants. Also, the sprayers can be fully powered by the vehicle's electrical system, without the need for an expensive central hydraulic system. This makes the HFE series not only eco-friendly but also cost-effective.
Electric Power = Power, Period.
Despite being fully electric-powered, the HFE series is capable of high output for efficient ice management. The standard 12-volt models are capable of spraying volumes of up to 15 gallons per minute, while the 24-volt kit is available for producing spray volumes of up to 30 gallons per minute.
Better Data Made Simple
One of the standout features of the HFE series is Hilltip's exclusive HTrack™ tracking software, which offers the industry's only two-way GPRS capability. This system enables users to create work sites, set customized application rates, monitor drivers, and document all activities remotely using a computer, smartphone, or tablet. The HTrack™ tracking software also provides important jobsite data that can be used to generate reports for client billing or to provide appropriate documentation for slip-and-fall claims.

Liquids Help Avoid Salty Situations
Craig Sandmann, Managing Director for Hilltip, said: "Liquids are the future of winter maintenance. They can reduce salt usage by up to 75 percent, which has a huge impact on cost savings and the environment. We've taken this approach to the next level with the high-flow SprayStriker HFE series, which is simple, reliable, and zero-emission. Combine these benefits with our innovative HTrack software, and you have the most advanced de-icing system available today."
The SprayStriker HFE series comes with other standard features such as a durable poly tank with an LED work light and beacon warning light, a powder-coated stainless-steel frame, and a two-lane, 90-inch-wide spray bar equipped with double spray and side nozzles. The sprayers have a self-loading design and pump-out feature with a two-inch camlock connection for operator convenience. The dual high-flow pumps, motors, valves, and CPU units are protected inside an easy-access stainless-steel cabinet for superior reliability and serviceability.
Hilltip is a leading manufacturer of road maintenance equipment in Europe, and its products are designed and built in an area that averages at least six months of snowfall every year.
